The artwork depicts a vision of the Virgin Mary and child, surrounded by a golden halo, appearing to Saint Anthony Abbot and Saint George. Saint Anthony, a hermit, stands with a staff, while Saint George, in full armor, stands over a slain dragon. The painting is housed in the National Gallery in London. The depiction of the saints, a powerful vision of the Virgin, and the dramatic landscape showcase Pisanello's signature style of detailed realism.
